hi, everyone. i'm kate snow. zinhle essamuah is off today. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, friday, march 29, 2024, cleanup mission. crews in baltimore prepared to clear the wreckage from that deadly bridge collapse hundreds
12:01 pm
of tons of razor sharp steel complicating the efforts. how long it could take and how much it could cost. holiday washout. tens of millions of the west coast are facing severe weather this easter weekend, and it could snarl spring break plans nationwide. what travelers need to know. rest for the weary. ever feel like you need a vacation from your vacation? why sleep tourism is becoming a hot new travel trend. and this is beyonce country. the star's hily anticipated album "cowboy carter" is here. we'll break down the cameos, the covers, and what has got the bey hive buzzing today. that's going to be fun, but we do begin this hour with the massive complex hour to clear
12:02 pm
the putapso river. it's going to be one of piece of the huge salvage operation now in its early stages. federal authorities are preparing everyone for a long road to recovery. experts say it could anywhere from 18 months to several years to rebuild. president biden says he'll travel to baltimore next week. he intends to use federal dollars to rebuild that bridge. the white house just approved $60 million in emergency funds to get the redesign and repair efforts moving along. nbc news reporter julia jester is at the scene for us in baltimore. julie, i know we just got an update from maryland's governor. what's the latest? >> reporter: well, kate, we got a bit more insight into what the salvage option is going to entail, and it includes seven crepes, ten tug boats, nine barges, eight salvage vessels, and five coast guard boats. the navy is going to be supplying four heavy lift
12:03 pm
cranes. two have already arrive. another arriving tonight. another arriving monday, which really just speaks to the scale of this operation. now, as for recovery experts, the divers are ready to go in the water, according to maryland state police, as soon as conditions are safe for them to do so. and so right now they are stressing that this operation is full steam ahead. it is unclear how long that it will take. however, it is under way, kate. >> and julia, i know there was a vigil today for the victims. i'm sure these last few days have been unimaginably difficult for those families. >> reporter: it has, kate. and we were at a presser this afternoon with an immigrants rights organization that also included some construction workers in the area who face conditions similar to the daily ones of those on the bridge who are really just reeling from this accident, you know, thinking it could have happened
12:04 pm
to them, it could have happened to anyone. so they meant to ensure these victims families are taken care of. in that presser governor wes moore said he wants to put forward legislation to create a scholarship fund for the children of the victims and ensure that the families are taken care of amidst their unthinkable loss. kate? >> julia jester for us today. thank you so much. it is good friday, and as we head into the easter weekend, the west coast is bracing for a serious storm system. rain posing a potential threat for drivers. mountain snow and gusty winds also in the forecast out there. and in addition to the holiday and the storms, the faa says they're getting ready for peak spring break travel as well as people catching flights to watch the total solar eclipse happening a week from monday. nbc news meteorologist angie lassman will have the holiday forecast for us in a moment, but let's begin with nbc news correspondent priya sridhar out of atlanta hartsfield-jackson airport. what do we need to know if
12:05 pm
you're flying or hitting the road in the next week or so? >> reporter: that's right, kate. we're seeing a triple whammy. easter spring break like you mentioned and that total solar eclipse. airport officials tell me they're expecting 7.1 million travels to pass through this airport and they're actually expecting the busiest day during that three-week travel period to be today. 335,000 people ilbe passing through this airport today. the good news so far we haven't seen too many delays or cancellations. the lines at it check points aren't too bad yet, but airport officials are saying come 2 1/2 hours early if you can. the other interesting thing about spring break because of the total solar eclipse occurring, this level of air travel is actually going to be sustained over a longer period of time with the faa saying they're expecting to see about 100,000 people traveling on april 4th and 5th. in those days in particular
12:06 pm
they're saying you might want to catch aroid to the airport because parking could be limited. if you're hilting the roads, be aware the weather that's occurring. gas prices around $3.50 a gallon, which is a little bit higher than last year but nowhere near the levels we were seeing back in 2022, kate. >> angie, let me bring you in. how are things looking out west to easter weekend? >> out west is where we watch for some trouble. when it comes to air, when it comes to road travel likely ahead of the weekend places like san francisco likely seeing some delays when it comes to air travel today. we've got plenty of alerts up for southern california as we gear up tomorrow. even late today and early tomorrow morning seeing that rain work in for folks there. 21 million people including los angeles and san diego included in these flood alerts as we gear up for a couple of days of rain. land slides and mud slides all on the table here the folks in this region as we see the system work onshore. notice we'll pick up additional snow in parts of the sierra
12:07 pm
range and parts of the rockies tomorrow. that flood risk will be centered from los angeles to san diego. for your saturday plans be aware of that. and we're not done with it. even as we get into easter still see some of that rain across the southwest and rockies. it's been soggy for a whole season in that region so not hard for them to see some of that flooding. when it comes to the snow fall, a potential of 2 feet of snow we could pick up in parts of the sierra as we go through the next couple of days, kate. >> and in march still technically. this sunday's easter holiday going to look a little different for britain's royal family. they are preparing for scaled down celebrations as both prince charles and princess kate receive treatment for cancer. nbc's meagan fitzgerald has more. >> look, what a difference a year makes. i mean we are talking about a stark contrast to what we saw last year for the royal family.
12:08 pm
they were buzzesing as they were anticipating the king's coronation and of course easter one of their favorite holidays. this year completely different. yesterday we would have typically seen king charltz at the royal holy thursday service. instead his wife, queen camila, stepping in for him. he did, though, release an easter video message where he really stressed the importance of friendship, togetherness, caring for one another, and service. we do expect to see the king and the queen at church service sunday on sunday. though we will not see the princess of wales and her family. of course she just a week ago from today announced she is battling cancer undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment. she's asked for privacy, so we suspect they'll have a more intimate easter togetherness with their family on sunday. the palace had originally said we would see the princess of wales after easter, but of course that was before she announced she's battling cancer. at this point still very unclear as to when we will see her.
12:09 pm
she did say, obviously, her focus is trying to make a full recovery as she battles cancer. back to you. >> meagan, thank you so much. a record haul for president biden in new york city last night. his re-election campaign took in $26 million at a star-studded fund-raiser. presidents biden, obama, and clinton headlined the event at radio city music hall featuring stephen colbert, lizzo, queen lufifa. actress and comedian linda kalin joked about the high price of admission. >> it is such an honor to be in this room with so many rich people. >> nbc news white house correspondent mike memoli joins me now. we should note the reason that was blurry is because members of it press were not allowed in the room last night even though we asked for permission from the campaign. >> you can see mindy got them laughing. lizzo and queen latifah, they
12:10 pm
got them really enthused. we don't often see three presidents sitting side by side talking about this office, what it means to be in that job and obviously in a political context. this is really about trying to shore up vulnerabilities for president biden right now. bill clinton, the explainer in chief as he's been called, trying to explain why there's this disconnect between what voters are feeling about the economy and the fact the data shows it's really strong right now. and barack obama showed it was his mission to testify about joe biden's character. he talked about the really difficult issues that have been on his plate. and he said there's a moral clarity t president thereat that's what i want in a president right now. >> there's also large protests outside the venue, and then inside there were disruptions from pro-palestinian protesters. >> that's right. for me i think the moment of the fund-raiser was they were prepared. they knew there'd likely be the interruptions. one of them occurred while barack obama was talking.
12:11 pm
and he said the office of the president is lonely one. there are no easy decisions, and this is the president right now doing everything he can to deal with the situation. >> polls do show, though, with younger voters especially that's a tough issue for them. i wonder about the strategy right now for the biden campaign. he seems to be getting out more since the "state of the union." he met with top donors i think in new york this morning again. so what do you see as the strategy? >> well, this is all part of what they've been calling a sprint. the "state of the union" address, an energetic joe biden showing democrats he's still up for this. and a busy campaign schedule. eight different battleground states while donald trump has not been on the campaign trail. they got a sneak peek of a new ad going out targeting nikki haley voters. the biden campaign putting out a new ad using trump's own words criticizing nikki haley. they say this ad is going to locations where nikki haley had a strong vote in those primaries and caucuses. >> great to have you in new york city. appreciate it. our white house guy. coming up, california

12:32 pm
nbc news business and data correspondent brian cheung is here to break it all down. california, right? this is big change for the restaurants and for the workers. how's it all going to play out? >> yeah, this is pretty substantial for fast food workers in many cases are making about $26 an hour. so that bump to $20 an hour would be equivalent to about a 20% pay bump. that's quite substantial and even more substantial when you consider how big the fast food industry is across the state. either working as a cashier or as cooks. now, not all of them are going to be covered in this, and that's because the way this law is structured that's only going to cover largely chains that are present nationwide that have establishments in california. so if you work at a mcdonald's or burger king, that's likely going to cover you. there's some ambiguity in the law whether or not if it's a bakery there's an exemption. but is a panera bread a bakery? the big reason for all this is obviously the higher cost of living especially in high cost
12:33 pm
areas like los angeles and san francisco where it's pretty adhard to get by $6 an hour. >> we imagine the companies might not be happy about this. are rest wnts saying they have to cut workers to be able to pay more. what about food prices? >> there are some chains in california who have said they're going to maybe try to speed up automation efforts to get around it. there are franchisees who have spoken anecdotally and could pass onto the customer in the form of higher price. that burger is going to have to be another dollar or two higher. a very interesting case study of rates in the minimum wage in the specific industry. >> brian cheung, thank you so much. well, we are learning more about the construction workers who died in the baltimore bridge collapse. fathers, brothers, and sons, all of them latino, a demographic group that accounts for a third

12:35 pm
presumed dead, drawing attention to the severe risks much of america's growing latino labor force faces often while doing important jobs that keep the country's economy humming. the department of labor lists construction as a high hazard industry where workers are often exposed to serious risks. a field in which latinos are overrepresented. an estimated 30% of all construction workers in the u.s. are latino. despite the group making up just about 18% of the total work force. the death rate for latino construction workers in the u.s. was nearly 42% higher than the death rate for nonlatino workers in 2020. one potential reason, fear from some immigrant workers over what will happen if they speak up about labor issues. >> it is a little bit more dangerous for latino workers working in fear if they go

in today's mental health check we're shining a light on preg 19 loss. it's a topic that sometimes is difficult to talk about, but it's more common than you might think. up to 1 in 4 known pregnancies end in a loss of a baby before the 20th week. and in addition to the physical toll, there's also an emotional mental health toll as well so many women do experience after loss. joining me now a board certified ob/gyn and reproductive endocrinologist also with me dr. georgia whitkin, thank you so much. i do want to say myself i myself have experienced two losses. doctor, starting with you talk about the emotional symptoms
12:46 pm
women might experience after a pregnancy loss and how long can that last? >> even though they are a common occurrence, unfortunately, that doesn't make them any less difficult to go through. many women who have experienced miscarriages will experience grief and depression, feelings of intense sadness. there's often anxiety about future pregnancies and guilt. there's a lot of self-blame even when it's not warranted. and then feeling lonely and isolated. often women may not feel comfortable talking to their regular support system, their friends and family members, because they feel a sense of shame and they're embarrassed. and that leads them to suffer these symptoms alone. >> yeah, dr. whitkin, a few years ago nbc did a series about pregnancy loss, which you can find on today.com. i'll post it on my social media. myself and other women shared personal stories what it means to experience that. what advice do you have when it comes to that issue of talking about it and taking care of your
12:47 pm
own mental health? >> it's a perfect question because talking to anybody is not a good idea. you really have to select those you talk to see that when someone says to you i know what you're saying, i understand, you believe them. which means you have to speak to people who are either especially trained. i do a lot of that for rma of new york, but also there are national groups that will help you meet other people who are going through the same thing because a majority of people don't even mention that they're pregnant early on. and then when they have their loss, they feel isolated because nobody knew. or even worse they're so far along if they don't see someone for a while and now they're not pregnant, they're asked about the baby because nobody even knows they had a miscarriage. >> yeah, that can happen. doctor, what are some signs women should seek additional
12:48 pm
help for mental or emotional symptoms or support? and what resources are there? >> so i think it's normal to experience the sadness and anxiety and all the things that can come along with miscarriage for weeks or maybe a few months. but if this starts to become prolonged or extremely intense to the point where it's impairing your ability to function day to day and it's impairing your relationships, then that's a sign that you need help. particularly if there are thoughts of self-harm, that is an emergency. you need specialized care and support, and that's essential for your safety and for your well-being, and especially if you're feeling isolated and you don't feel like you can go to your normal support system in your life, your friends or your family members, that is a sign you need professional help and you should seek support elsewhere. >> dr. witkin, what if you're one of those friends or family members and someone who you love is experiencing loss, what's the best language, terminology? how do you talk about it? >> we all try to find the
12:49 pm
perfect thing to say, and i'm here to tell you you don't have to find the perfect thing to say. it's better to actually not do any cliches, any advice. instead be there, ask the person how can i help you, and then very, very important, listen to what they say. repeat it back to them so they can even hear themselves. so be there and not just the first week and the first month, but the first birthday, the first anniversary. help them process the loss. >> i find myself thinking about it just talking to you guys. are there ways, dr. sehkon doctors can screen in their patient and look for these anxious symptoms? >> there definitely needs to be increased awareness, and i think we as a field are getting better at this at incorporating mental health evaluations as part of
12:50 pm
routine health care appointments. using standardized screening tools can be very helpful. things like validated screening questionnaires, this is an objective way you can assess mental health symptoms and this may help facilitate early identification and intervention. >> i'm so glad we could have this conversation. thank you so much. great to have you both. there's much more news ahead. you're watching "nbc news daily." don't go anywhere. rsv can severely affect the lungs and lower airways. but i'm protected with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. rsv can be serious for those over 60, including those with asthma, diabetes, copd, and certain other conditions. but i'm protected. arexvy is proven to be over 82% effective in preventing lower respiratory disease from rsv and over 94% effective
